The best design platform for Agile Architecture.

Our architecture repository was cluttered with old and incorrect documents.

BoardWiki gives us control over our business and IT architecture.

Designs of closed projects were impossible to find.
And if found, the question was whether they were still up-to-date.

With BoardWiki we have grip on the status of every design.

Many of our projects require the collaboration of multiple internal and external teams.

We really needed an environment that can integrate multi-party designs.

We used to restrict updating our repository to the enterprise architects only.

Using BoardWiki everyone can contribute, while the enterprise architects are still in control.

Many designers find it difficult to work with formal models like UML and Archimate.

The BoardWiki model is pragmatic and gives us exacty what we need.

What is easier than sketching a brainstorm on a whiteboard?

BoardWiki proved to be much easier, as you can draft mixing new concepts with existing repository.

Our legacy applications were hardly documented.

BoardWiki reverse engineered the software for us, in exactly the same model as we use for our current designs.

Collaborative Design Freedom with BoardWiki

Streamline Team Ideation Without Compromising Knowledge Quality: BoardWiki creates a protected workspace where your IT design teams can collaboratively prototype using actual system entities and relations without affecting your system repository. This collaborative draft environment is specifically engineered to accelerate your conceptual design phases.

Clean Repository By Design: When your team reaches consensus, promote vetted designs to your repository with precise control:
  • One-click promotion of approved entities and relationships to the repository.
  • Drag-and-drop replacement of draft entities with system entities.
  • Granular permission controls to maintain system repository integrity

Take Control of Your Design Evolution

Navigate Complex System Changes With Confidence: In enterprise architecture, undocumented changes create significant technical debt and team friction. BoardWiki automatically tracks and visualizes all system modifications, ensuring your entire team works from current information without manual documentation overhead.

Status Synchronization BoardWiki maintains design integrity through automated status management:
  • Auto-propagation of status changes across all relevant designs.
  • Persistent visibility of deleted items with clear deprecation markers.
  • Full audit trail of design changes.

Advanced Visual Status System: Our intuitive visual indicators provide instant context for distributed system current states
  1. Life Cycle Status: Indicated by color-coded fill.
  2. Work Flow Status: Progress indication by the percentage fill.
  3. Project Affiliation: Background highlighting differentiates current project changes (yellow) from external modifications (white).

Integrated Architecture Design: From Concept to Implementation

Unified Design Environment for Complete System Visibility: BoardWiki eliminates fragmented documentation by connecting high-level architecture directly to detailed technical specifications in one cohesive environment. This integration gives your entire team immediate visibility into how strategic decisions impact implementation details and vice versa — a critical capability for maintaining architectural integrity during rapid development.

Technical Interconnection Framework: Our open design model creates tangible connections between all elements of your IT ecosystem:
  • Dynamic linking between conceptual models and technical implementations
  • Drill down visibility of dependencies across system components
  • Consistent terminology and relationships across all design layers
Easy navigation: The intelligent navigation of BoardWiki facilitates you in multiple ways:
  • Navigation: BoardWiki has the unique functionality to support requests on how to get from one entity to another. All intermediate entities and relations will be added automatically.
  • Drilldown: Any entity, relation or decoration item can hold a drilldown to the next level of detail.
  • Mindmap: Every entity can be visualized in a mindmap, displaying all relations to and from the requested entity.
  • Hover: BoardEntities have a hover function to show you a list of all relations to or from the underlaying entity.
  • Board finder: BoardWiki supports to select one or multiple entities and request a list of boards that hold the selected entities.

Secure Multi-Team Collaboration Platform

BoardWiki is a robust web platform designed to facilitate the secure and controlled sharing of design data among various stakeholders, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected.

Scalable Design Management For Large Organizations: Designed for enterprise complexity, BoardWiki helps architecture teams maintain consistency while supporting distributed work.
  • Segment designs by business unit or team without creating silos.
  • Maintain federated design repositories with centralized governance.

Strengthen Vendor-Client Collaboration: Eliminate the friction in your software supplier relationships:
  1. Shared glossary: Establish common entity definitions and relation types to ensure alignment.
  2. Shared visualization: Reduce misinterpretation risks through visual collaboration

Flexible Engagement Models: Configure BoardWiki to match your collaboration needs:
  • Invitation-Only Mode: Maintain strict control over external access.
  • Open Subscription: Enable broader ecosystem participation with free or premium tiers.

Streamline Design and Project Execution

Structured Design Management That Aligns With Your Delivery Process: BoardWiki bridges the traditional gap between IT architecture design and project execution with built-in organization features that IT teams need:
  • Hierarchical Collections Framework: Organize designs logically within programs, projects, and release structures — driving how your teams actually deliver work.
  • Adaptive Agile Views: Filter and sort designs by workflow status, topic, or priority to support daily standups and sprint planning sessions.
  • Synchronized Status Management: Update an entire collection's workflow status with one action — eliminating inconsistencies in your repository.
Technical Project Visibility: BoardWiki's unified approach ensures architecture decisions remain connected to project execution, providing the traceability IT managers need to maintain alignment between design and delivery.

AI-Enhanced Architecture Design

Design Efficiency Through Intelligent Assistence: BoardWiki integrates with advanced AI platforms like Gemini to enhance your team's architectural design process. This integration specifically addresses the collaboration bottlenecks that slow down IT teams:
  • Enhanced Speed: Leverage AI assistance to accelerate your design process, reducing the time spent on routine tasks and allowing you to focus on high-value activities.
  • Increase quality: Increase the quality of the text in your designs with the automatic context aware text review.
  • Comprehensive Designs: The use of AI resources helps you create more thorough designs, ensuring that all aspects of your project are covered.
  • Legacy applications: Use our AI integration to interprete legacy software. Boardwiki turns code into designs and descriptions, allowing seamless integration with your current designs.

Manage AI Access with Precision: At BoardWiki, we prioritize security and appropriate use of AI:
  • Permission-Based AI Access: The use of BoardWiki's AI integration is managed through permissions.
  • Protected: Contracted AI parties garantuee your data is not used to enrich the model.
